Dear Tom,

I met my husband in a traffic jam back in 2005.  He was nice enough to let me and my little Lexus get past his big black Chevy Tahoe.  He pulled up next to me at the next light, said hi and we exchanged numbers before the signal changed.

I had a 4 year old son and 3-month baby girl when we met. He took to them immediately and begun his role as a nurturing father and – eventually – husband.  My daughter, Paris, is now 9 and my son, Kemonte, is 13.

Ronald is also great mentor and positive role model to the children in the community.  He goes out of his way for these kids when they are in need of a father figure.  Don’t tell anyone, but he’s a momma’s boy and loves helping her around the house & supporting her whenever she’s in need.

He has faced many adversities in his life.  When the economy tanked, he was let go from his job after nearly 20 years but he did not let that stop him.  He took the opportunity to go to community college and got a commercial driver’s license to drive tractor trailers, cargo vans, you name it! And we now own our transportation service.

Ronald loves coaching little league football – in fact – he coached Golden Tate who was the 2nd round draft pick for the Seahawks in 2010 and just signed a 5 year deal with the Detroit lions.  But my man is a Tennessee Titans fan.  I would love to get him a season pass!
